Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has described Ghana midfielder, Thomas Partey, as a big player who knows what the club wants.
The Spaniard is saying this after the 30-year-old returned to training after a month out with a groin injury, missing six games for the Gunners.
Partey is now in contention for selection in Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League game against Lens on Tuesday.
Speaking ahead of the game, Arteta said it is great news to have the Ghanaian back.
“I think his progression in the last week has been very good. He might have some exposure tomorrow depending how the game goes.
“He’s a big player and we know what he brings to the team. He knows exactly what we need and with the injuries we had to other players in midfield and at the back he complements us in a great way and gives us options. So it’s great to have him back again.”
